Vancouver Island's ONLY 100% Canadian owned and operated ski resort

Cain Cup this weekend January 18th! There will be races for all skiers and boarders 16 and older on the Face Saturday morning. The 10 fastest men and 10 fastest women will then ski off for the Cain Cup in the afternoon. Registration in the Lodge Saturday morning starting at 8:30am. The race will begin around 9:30 and awards ceremony will be at 4:00 in the lodge. Hope to see you all there (remember, you have to be 16 and over to race).

So I may have been a bit exuberant about 4 feet in 36 hours (or fallen into a deep tree well somewhere up top) but VIU has graciously allowed us to link to their High Elevation Weather Station Network. It's a really interesting project so scan out to their wider webpage as well:

http://viu-hydromet-wx.ca/graph/ws-graph/graph-presets/mtcainlower/

Gives you real-time data. Very fun. I know it looks a bit complicated at first but once you get the hang of it, it's more accurate than my 'rough' estimates. Snowpack/fall is on the right graph in blue using the right-hand axis.


Save the pow for your elders kids.

Our schedule of events has dropped. You can find it here.

All the best,

Cain crew.

-Cain Crew


As the only fully Canadian-owned and operated ski resort left on Vancouver Island, we know all about bacon, maple syrup, walking uphill both ways to school in the snow, and getting your tongue stuck to metal posts on a dare. We also know about bottomless powder, and low-to-no lift lineups.

Ski the Island's best powder. Buy local. Stay local. Resistance to the Vailborg.

“Mount Cain is located in the territory of the ‘Namgis First Nation.  The mountainous area near the Davie River, or Dzudzux’an, is known as Papikalan in Kwak’wala, meaning ‘place of marmots’.”

And viva Woss Vegas!
